What's your tell?
-
I refuse to use paragraphs. Also I use ‘as if’ way way too often.

The last few times I thought I was quietly stepping back onto a game a couple people seemed to immediately know, lol, so I must have one??? But I’d just be guessing as to what it is.
Aside from being a complete goober OOC.
Something like, Wizz spin Jumpscare!
I don’t know who it is, but someone does that, and I see you, whoever you are. And I like what you’re spinning.

Em dashes, “a beat,” describing small changes in body language, “I mean,” characters with tactical knowledge/background, characters with sports knowledge/background, and answering OOC questions on channels.
Shit, I use this far too often in OOC talk, less IC.
-
I’m double posting, because I noticed this as I was finishing a pose. I realize that my characters(not all depending)often grin so fucking much that I’m wondering if I’m just playing someone with behavioral problems.

[…] turgid […]
I almost want to take this as a challenge to use turgid in a non-smut situation, but I am teh laze.
My tells, uh… much as I want it to be amazing lewds because I have a brand… it’s probably fake pretendy words that sortaish make sense, to a degree.
Endless run-on sentences and problematic punctuation; I use them more for the vibe than how they should actually work.
If I decide to venture into purple prose, it comes across more like an SNL skit than actual writing, which… could be an improvement of other peoples’ purple prose?
-
I still abuse ellipses. My tells are more OOC though, like spreadsheets and guides. I can’t help myself!
Once someone asked if I was me because I was being helpful/nice and that was the coolest thing ever
Also ALLCAPS a lot. A LOT
-
I know I have them (though there have been many times where apparently even people who know me well didn’t realize an alt was mine, that happened quite a few times with Edris, but I wonder if perhaps gender is involved there), but I don’t know what they are. I’m pretty sure most of my tells are OOC chatting.

That’s not me just for the record (unless I’m sleep-MU*ing?!), but they’re def channeling my spirit!!

I once tried to confess who I was to @dvoraen and he told me he’d figured it out months earlier from me talking on channels lol

Pretty sure I have OOC tells like being shouty and having a Napoleon complex.

being knowledgeable about science things
-
I have no idea what my tells are and trying to figure them out makes me nauseous with embarrassment so I’ll just live with the mystery.

This post is deleted! -
oh, here’s a pretty big one – my standard greeting is usually “SUP NERDS” or some variant.
-
@Juniper Oh yeah the Australian spelling and timezones is probably a thing for me too!

@Selira said in What's your tell?:
The fact that many of you are listing things I would have considered my tells means they aren’t my tells, I suppose.
I feel I’m pretty fucking obvious, though, but couldn’t pin down why.
I can actually never tell it’s you. I’m always the last person to find out, and only when rude people snitch on you because they’re apparently better at @Selira-spotting than I am.
I won’t tell my tells. Except that I’m also a compulsive questions channel answerer, and that it physically hurts me when I consciously force myself not to in hopes of flying under the radar somewhere.

It was more that I was PRETTY SURE it was you, but I can never be 100% unless you tell me. So 99.5% sure in that particular case.

My characters talk a lot.
Like, they can’t shut up.
